New owner Warren Lapine seems committed to keeping Realms of Fantasy as much like it was as possible. His newest announcement is that Jeff Kight will continue with his role. Kight has been the Advertising Director for former publisher Sovereign Media for four years, responsible for all the ads in Realms, Sci Fi Magazine, Otaku USA, World War II History, and Military Heritage.
Sovereign is not forcing him out, but Kight told SFScope that “it’s a good time to start out on my own, and Realms is a great magazine to start with.”the time is right for him to start his own representation firm; Realms will be his first client. Everything has happened so quickly that he doesn’t even have a name for his new firm. Nevertheless, Kight said that potential new clients can email him at jeff at thebuzzforge dot com.
Prior to working for Sovereign, Kight had 26 years experience in radio.
